Hiya,

I have just discovered that there is a Montessori K-12 school near us, and I am curious about finding out more from those who know more. I have a bit of an issue with the establishmentarian approach of mainstream schooling - but think that homeschooling may be too much of a leap for me.
I have read the montessori school mission statement and the basic philosophies they claim to have really resonate with me, but I would like a bit more info from Montessori parents out there (good or bad!).
Ie - What was it that made you decide this method of teaching was/wasn't for your kids,
and what impact (if any) do you think it has had on your child?
Are they expensive/hard to get into?

Would love to hear your experiences!

Thanks
